Handmade-Chic: Heavenly Knit Vases . . .

(via Design Sponge)

We all know handmade & DIY is all of the rage this wedding & party season; from poms & buntings to hand-drawn maps & paper pretties, crafty brides & moms everywhere are rolling up their sleeves and getting down to business when it comes to throwing a memorable event.

And you know it's always the fun little details that truly stand out; a bit of the unexpected that arrives on the scene and just steals the show . . . and keeps your guests talking for months to come.

Now I have to admit, I have been a bit obsessed with knitting over the past couple of months. My mom taught me the basics a few years back and I spent the better part of a fall & winter making all sorts of scarves for myself & my nearest and dearest.

And while I haven't practiced near as much as I would like, I have spent the last several weeks absorbed in Gil McNeil's 'The Beach Street Knitting Society & Yarn Club' book trilogy (if you haven't read it yet, you can purchase it HERE), and although I am sad to only have about 50 pages left, I am completely overjoyed to be inspired again by one of the oldest crafts in history!

Ideal for rainy April days and the evening breeze of summer, these hand-knit vase cozies, in perfect shades of pale, will look ever-so-lovely front and center on your next beautiful tablescape. Just take a look . . .

About Juneberry Lane

Thank you for taking a walk down Juneberry Lane with me! We have everything you need to throw a fabulous party; from inspiration, to invitations, to recipes, to decorations!
I currently live in Los Angeles, CA with my husband, Mike, our 3 year old boy, Sullivan, our little one year old girl, Cecily, and our dog, Moses. I began working with Love, Luck, and Angels, a Los Angeles based event design and coordination company in 2008. While there, I had the opportunity to help plan the weddings & bridal/baby showers of celebrities such as Kate Walsh and Isla Fisher, among many others.
After having our lovely little baby boy, Sully, in June of 2010, I needed a place to put my event design skills to work, all while staying home and caring for my little sweetie. And hence, Juneberry Lane was born!! I hope you will stop by whenever you need a little inspiration to plan your next fabulous affair!
